Version compatible HL7 parser based on object oriented design
Version compatible HL7 parser based on object oriented design
In this study, an HL7 parser was developed that not only supports backward compatibility with older versions in accordance with the version compatibility de¯nition of the HL7 V2 messages but also guarantees forward compatibility with newer versions to enhance its utilization. The developed parser was used to test conversion between di®erent versions of HL7.
